I came across this post on the 2addicts forum today http://www.2addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1200964

My 16 M2 hasn't got these installed, what about anyone else? I test drove the M2 and thought it to be quite a quiet car but after purchasing and doing a long and spirited run this weekend I noticed I had to keep turning up the Volume when going fast and then lowering when slowing down. I had quite a lot of engine noise.

Anyone else got these fitted to the M2?

I actually never heard of this anywhere(here and other BMW M2 forums) until now.

You are aware of the fact there is an artificial(ASD)enginesound coming in through the speakers which can be switched off? That's what I did. Great mod.

I installed it on my M2 months ago. It definitely cuts down on the wind/road noise.

The insulation is not standard on the F87, but it is for other 2-Series models. My guess is it's most likely due to cost cutting and/or overall weight reduction as there's quite a bit of insulation on the 2-Series that was omitted on the M2.

These are not on anything but convertibles now.

I'd like to try this... got the part numbers? How did install go?

From looking at that 2-Series thread it looks like they are not installed on some while others say they got them. Not sure why it's so inconsistent, realoem still shows the part number for builds as late as Feb 2017.

Installed these last month in my car, its meant to cut down road noise as I've just got the car hard to tell.

Installation is easy, just used my fingers. Search the forum there are multiple references.

www.bmwpartsworldwide.com has the best price including shipping. Copied the part #'s from the 2addicts thread.

What part numbers did you use?

[SimNugget]

I fitted these, think they did make a difference or I just got used to the tyre noise.

Front Door Seals
51487300693 - L

Lowered them in from above the lower door hinge, then slid them back up to the top hinge from below. Start pushing in with fingers from the top until the bottom, and you might need to cut a small amount away from the bottom.

So the 240 has the extra weight and its performance is close to the M2. LOL.
